Yes... I can see how that would make the cuff mor formal.
I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…

I was going to try to explain the difference but your pictures do the job much better.
Glen is of course right it is the fabric that makes the difference in formality
